  • Do you have Linux or Macs in your environment? Do all 1685 PC's check in on a regular basis? - h2opolo25 9 years ago
  • all Microsoft PCs some windows 7 and some xp - Kdebiasse 9 years ago
  • Have all 1685 machines checked in? Custom fields will only update on client check in so if some aren't/haven't checked in, it won't update for those inventory items. - mgomez 9 years ago
  • Try running the this through the inventory search screen first - mikesharp1 9 years ago
  • I ran force update on one PC I saw was not there and still does not put it in costume field - Kdebiasse 9 years ago
    • Manually check the registry on that machine and see what the value is. - chucksteel 9 years ago

I found the registry to get the version information to be quite unreliable.  I used this instead, it should work on Win7 and WinXP, 32 and 64 bit.  I used this very successfully when needing upgrade IE at one point.

FileInfoReturn(C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe, FileVersion, TEXT)

I am not sure why are we using custom inventory field to get the IE version.

IE_version property is available from/after  5.5 version

Try to pull the report from above and see if that helps .
